Is it absent of deeper and greater meaning, or is Lestat just recoiling away from the sunlight of something emotionally ordinary happening To Him, Of All People, in his most dramatic and important unlife.
Daniel does not say or think (well, very hard) drama queen, but if he did, it would be in an exasperated almost-fond tone. Just almost. Tinged with some lurking worry. Do they just all do this, with age. Do they fucking forget. Will he. Daniel is miles away from a saint, but will there be a day when he cannot comprehend common, boring courtesy?
Or is Lestat simply weird.
Mormon bicyclist (his name is Stuart) launches into an enthusiastic ramble about how those headphones working great with his record player at home, even with an after-market extended cable purchase. Phone insurance is cheaper than the headphones, which is a little funny. Daniel adds him to his plan ("A second extra line?" Stuart confirms, and Daniel, for a moment, realizes he's forgotten that his youngest daughter is still on there, which is absurdly shit of him, but he just forges ahead and agrees), and they are given special coupons for the Orange Julius at the other end of the mall, which makes Daniel feel slightly insane, as he thought those all closed in the 90s, and were only on the west coast.
Maybe none of this is happening. More mindfuckery— oh, no, the credit card receipt, this is real. Motherfucking inflation.
